Cider in Bedford Falls…

–Visited Bedford Falls Saturday. Saw Zuzu, George, Little Janie, 5,000 people running and had some mulled cider. I wanted to see if I could act like a Pixie, order a flaming rum punch and get thrown through Martini’s window Beth wouldn’t let me. https://www.wonderfullifemuseum.com/

–Roswell Park Cancer Institute, in January, is implementing a radically strict opioid prescription policy. I hope that makes a difference. My late friend John, a dentist, gave up prescribing opioids years ago, preferring instead to recommend 3 ibuprofen, an extra strength Tylenol and a caffeinated beverage. https://www.wkbw.com/…/roswell-park-to-implement-radical-op…

–As subpoena powers loom when Democrats take over the House, and the Mueller probe each week finds more and more untruths from President Trump’s inner-circle, it is hard to figure out where it all ends. The only thing certain is the Presidency is farcical, a comedic tragedy of liars and thieves with no regard for laws or decency. https://apnews.com/d57eb7490de3493f93ba78fecd4e4f1c

–This Tweet from Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “Somewhere along the line, people in positions of influence decided that Flint water, Bronx air, or poor schools WEREN’T acceptable for their children, but could be accepted for someone else’s. And I will never think that is a reasonable compromise to make so #callmeradical.”

–President Trump’s chief of staff, retired general John Kelly, is leaving at the end of the year. How much chaos looms in the preschool classroom when the room mother leaves and the alpha brat loses his voice of reason? https://apnews.com/7a5a0eb3f15c4f4a9f7fd34680c1bc68

–Then there’s former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, speaking openly about how Russia interfered in our last election and about the character of our Commander-in-Chief. “So often, the president would say ‘here’s what I want to do and here’s how I want to do it’ and I would have to say to him, ‘Mr. President I understand what you want to do but you can’t do it that way. It violates the law,’ ” Tillerson said. https://www.chron.com/bu…/article/Rex-Tillerson-13448868.php

–”If the Jets season were a horse you’d shoot it to put it out of its misery.” What a fine lede from the NY Post. The Bills, despite the record, still seem headed in the right direction. recordhttps://nypost.com/2018/12/09/jets-search-within-themselves-for-a-reason-to-keep-fighting/
